    I just installed Windows XP on a Acer Aspire 9412AWSMi. And now I have nothing. The network card is not working, USb is not working extrenam HD is not working.

    What are is wrong? Can this be solved or do I throw everything away?

    Of course NOT.

    There are no drivers. And I can't find anyrthing. Plus I don't have USb, so no Mouse, no SD, no stick, no nothing.

    No. Just an image file that I made.

    If you're smart enough to create an image file, you're probably smart enough to incorporate the correct drivers.

    No?

    You can always give that computer to me if you decide to throw it away.

    Try installing a genuine copy of Windows Vista which is probably the OS that was installed on your laptop.
